A Christian sermon over the body and at the
funeral of the venerable Dr. Martin Luther,
preached by Mr. Johann Bugenhagen
Pomeranus, doctor and pastor
of the churches
in Wittenberg.

Paul, the holy apostle, says in I Thessalonians 4:

          We do not want to hold back, dear broth-
ers, concerning those who are asleep so that you
may not be sorrowful as the others who have no
hope. For since we believe that Jesus has died and
risen, even so, God will bring those with Him
who have fallen asleep through Jesus.
